.*.*.February snow.*.*.

Wait, could that possibly be snow? In February? ;)

Here are the kids up early the morning it started to snow. They're watching it and waiting to go outside. I'm really mean and wouldn't let them go out to play in 1 cm of wet snow at 7 in the morning. Ha.

But, a few hours later, there was enough to play in!

Emma thought it was pretty funny.

Noel's gloves didn't fit so well. But, at least he had some, unlike poor Ems.

His face explains his excitement better than I ever could. :)

Here's Maddie, building her first snowman.

Making progress with our little snowy friend.

And, voila! Our snow critter.

If I'm remembering correctly, her name was Rosie.

Now, fast forward a week and it snowed again! Even more this time. We got about 5 inches.

Um, Noel? That hat doesn't seem to fit you anymore.

Snow angels!

Sweet little Emma-bean.

After it snowed, the sun came out and the sky was clear. The tree was beautiful with it's red buds covered in snow.

Our snowy house & yard.

Emma, getting brave and stepping into deeper snow.

Looking up the street.

Er, Maddie? You should lie on your back when you try to make a snow angel.

I pushed her. ;)

After waiting all winter, hoping for snow, it finally came at the end of February. Yay!
